Zi Corporation (NASDAQ: ZICA) (TSX: ZIC), a leading provider of
intelligent interface solutions, today announced a new license
agreement for its innovative predictive text products, eZiText® and
eZiType® with Norway-based Trolltech ASA.

Zi Corporation’s eZiText and eZiType have been integrated on Qtopia
Phone Edition, an application platform and user interface for
Linux-based devices, to offer advanced text entry for Chinese and
alphabetic languages. Trolltech has integrated eZiText and eZiType as
part of the Qtopia Greensuite initiative, which offers pre-integrated
market leading partner components on top of Qtopia Phone Edition.

Qtopia Phone Edition is developed by Trolltech for device manufacturers
that wish to enable faster handset development and commercial
deployment.

eZiText and eZiType will be the integrated text input tools available
as part of the Qtopia Greensuite initiative and includes features such
as word completion, dual language prediction and auto-correction. Zi
will receive royalties for every handset enabled with eZiText and
eZiType that is sold through Trolltech’s channels.

This latest integration comes less than a year after Trolltech
announced eZiText on its Qtopia Greenphone project, demonstrating how
quickly users can draft text messages, thereby improving device
usability.

Haavard Nord, Trolltech CEO, commented, “With the Qtopia Greensuite
initiative, we are looking to offer device manufacturers the most
comprehensive application platform for efficiently creating Linux-based
devices. In order to do so, we need to work with industry-leading
partners. Zi has shown through its work with us on the Greenphone last
year that it offers a complete solution that is in high demand, so we
are extremely pleased to feature its software.”

“Following the success of eZiText and Decuma on the Greenphone, we are
delighted that Trolltech has chosen to take our solution to the next
level and integrate it onto its UI platform,” said Milos Djokovic,
President and CEO of Zi Corporation. “The Qtopia Greensuite initiative
provides an all-in-one solution for handset integration, which helps
accelerate the development process. With the addition of eZiType, Linux
developers will have access to exceptional predictive text software.”

ABI Research has predicted that Linux will power about 31 percent of
all Smartphones sold in 2012, and by then will have shipped in 331
million devices. It also forecasts 75 percent CAGR (compound annual
growth rate) for Linux in Smartphones through 2012, making it the
fastest-growing OS in the sector.

At the end of 2006, it was reported that several million Qtopia-based
devices have shipped to date, and Qtopia has become the de-facto
standard for Linux handset makers with 120 manufacturers building
Qtopia devices – 40 of which are mobile phones.
